Nice steelbook.
Shame about the movie though.

Well for one reason, you couldn't see a damn thing.

Nice artwork....but it really is like trying to put chocolate on a turd :P

[bevins2016]

But the turd looks really nice now. As long as you never watch the movie it will be the same as never eating that turd.

presume this will still be the R rated version and not the unrate dversion that appeared on the US release

[BigNickUK]

Brilliant film, steelbook an easy purchase

Nice spelling mistake on the spine

I do like the movie, though it IS way too dark!
Strange also that this is the R-rated version and the first movie is the Extended Cut.

I agree.

It's been awhile since I've seen it, so correct me if I'm wrong, but, not counting the Predator, isn't there only one "Alien" (the Predalien) in the film? If so, then technically, this movie should have used the singular Alien in the title, like the first film did (which actually happened to have more than one alien and predator). The typo on the spine seems like a justifiable change --if only the front cover didn't conflict with it.

Sounds like it is time for a rewatch for you

[Show spoiler]First there is the facehuggers, from the ship, that gets the hunter and his son (it was at that point I realized this would be a dark movie in more than one regard!) and later the homeless people living in the sewer. Then the Predalien start laying eggs in pregnant women so each one "gives birth" to a whole bunch of aliens.

It certainly does sound like I need a rewatch. I really enjoyed the first AVP and own it on DVD, but I only saw Requiem once when it first came out. I remember not liking it as much as the first film, but thinking it would have been a lot more enjoyable if the picture quality wasn't so damn dark.

Looking forward to these steelbooks arriving next week.

I caved and bought this from Zavvi with a (automatically applied) 5% discount for £9.49, although the incorrect spine title bothers me a little.

You hit the nail on the head. The movie is too dark. In the special features, the producers/directors state that they intentially darkend the movie. There are several deleted scenes that show the movie as it was filmed without the postproduction darkening effect added to the film. It's like night and day.

Darkening the film ruined it. They over did it. Not a terribly bad story or movie IMO. It's just unwatchable because the film was over darkened. I keep hoping for a reissue that dials back the darkening effect, but that will probably never happen.
